Is anybody else getting spammed by "Scientific Research Publishing"?
I've been busy unsubscribing from I-don't-know how many "journals" from this group and I don't know how they got my name, but I get at least one email every day or two. Many of the "journals" listed on their website seem to be place-holders for future electronic submissions, and nothing more. Even if they are legit, I have no academic credentials in the fields that they are asking me about, and I would not be a good addition to their editorial boards, except perhaps to put technical papers in good form. That, I can do.
Where are these people getting names and email addresses? Any ideas? Are they mining ArXiv or Springer journals for author names and emails?
